Many months ago I posted about making a mood board for our bedroom, and a couple of weeks ago when I posted about finding a location for the hanging geometric himmeli gems I made, I included a teaser photo of our bedroom. I’ve been meaning to share a tour ever since, and here it is! This […]
Brass Bead & Tassel Earrings
Recently I became really intrigued by the combination of thread and brass. I don’t think it was any one piece that inspired me, it was more a slow accumulation. But after I started making tassels for my basket, I realized that I wanted to try another take on tassel earrings. And so these babies were […]
DIY Tassel-Trimmed Basket
I picked out the thread for the tassels on this basket to match a rug in my bedroom (this one from Ikea), but when I was putting it together I realized something weird: each one almost perfectly matches a color that features prominently in my house. Three of them are actual wall colors, and the […]
White Summer Skirt
Yesterday I wrote about wanting some summer whites in my wardrobe, and now I’ve fulfilled my craving for a white skirt. I didn’t use a pattern for this one, I just made a waistband (based on what I learned making this one), and gathered a 60″-wide piece of fabric to fit. It only took a […]

Strawberry Buttermilk Popsicles
Last week I mentioned that I was looking forward to drinking iced coffee and eating frozen treats, and since strawberries are in season, I used some to whip up a batch of these popsicles. Bursting with fresh berries (some from my garden!), these taste like summer. And don’t be scared off by the buttermilk–if you […]
DIY Crystal Curtain Holdbacks
One of my favorite elements to use in my home is rocks. Which doesn’t sound very attractive, but I’m not talking about any old piece of earth. I prefer chunks of marble, fossils, minerals, and crystals. Mostly they just sit around and look pretty, but these particular rocks have a job to do: holding back […]
Links I Like
I’ve been combing the internet for projects/links to share today, and mostly coming up empty. I found a few: this customization of enamel dishware is neat, and this made me want to go to the beach to find the perfect piece of driftwood to turn into a succulent planter. But beyond those, nothing caught my […]
